Since the opportunities for paid blogging appear to be diminishing, many will be looking for a new way to make money on the internet, and some will be considering an ecommerce site. However setting up your own ecommerce site is more or less impossible for the ‘casual’ website builder as your e-shopper will demand credit-card compatibility, high-security encryption and a flawless browsing and shopping experience.
To build your own ecommerce solution would involve complex front-end and back-end programming with product and customer databases which may well even require you to upgrade your web hosting package.
Once this realisation has become apparent, your budding entrepreneur is starting to think maybe a car-boot or garage sale is about as hi-tech as he can manage, unless he comes across off-the-shelf ecommerce software that will expand with his business.
One such solution is Ashop, one of the leading software solutions for start-up ecommerce sites. Not only does it have a low-cost entry-level solution to suit the tentative business-person (less than £25/US$50/AUS$70 per month), they host the ecommerce pages on their own dedicated servers, so there is no need to upgrade to an expensive web-hosting package, and you can fully customise the pages so that the shopper will have a seamless browsing experience between your main site and the ecommerce pages.
Couple this with safe encryption, compatibility with major banks and credit cards built in as standard and there’s no reason why you can’t start using this system tomorrow… especially since there is a free introductory period.
The features of this package, even at the entry-level stage add up to a staggering list, and there is a handy video presentation on the Ashop website which outlines how this software works to provide the complete ecommerce solution that you are looking for.
